| Alhaji Ahmed Joda speaking |
After about five weeks of scrutiny, the
Alhaji Ahmed Joda Transition Committee of the All Progressives Congress on
Friday submitted an 800-page final report of its findings to President
Muhammadu Buhari.
The
event, which took place at the Defence House, Abuja, saw the committee
submitting the compressed report from the over 18,000 pages it received from
the Goodluck Jonathan administration to President Buhari.
Briefing
State House correspondents after submitting the report, Joda said the committee
got the cooperation of several groups to arrive at its recommendations.
“We
have concluded our assignment which was given to us on the 29th of April.
“We
spent about five weeks going through memorandum, listening to presentations
from all over the country and sometimes from Nigerians living in different
parts of the world.
“And
I must say that we received wonderful cooperation from everybody in Nigeria,
the business community, the professional people, the non-governmental organizations,
society people.
“Everybody contributed to the success of our
work. And today, we submitted about 800 pages of report and recommendations to
the President.
“This
is now his property and I think in due course he will begin to act on them.”
Joda
denied that the submission of the report had delayed the action of the
president in administration and appointments but said the president had to wait
for the report.
He
said it took time to sort the report out, analyze, get experts to interview on
it and make recommendations.
He
also said that political appointments were at the discretion of the president,
adding that with the paper work given to him he would make up his mind on what
to do which required some time to do.
